Abstract

The vascular plant inventory for Mount Rainier National Park was conducted between 2000 and 2007. Initially, the park had a vascular plant species list of 959 species, 56% of which were verified by herbarium specimens, 39% were documented by scientific studies, and the remaining 5% were unverified but were on the list based on species ranges. Our objectives for the vascular plant inventory were: 1) improve the quality of the species verification by increasing the number voucher specimens and 2) to verify the presence of sensitive that were listed as occurring within the park. Data mining was the first step of the project and involved in-person and on-line searches of 9 collections. Data mining located 1,099 specimens which increased the voucher- based verifications by 14%. Field inventories of undersurveyed areas and likely habitats of sensitive species were conducted from 2004 to 2007 in partnership with the University of Washington. These Botany Forays resulted in a final vascular plant species list of 973 species, verified at the 97% level: 74% by vouchers, 23% by scientific studies, and only 3% are unverified.

Introduction

The National Park Service's primary mission is to conserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the national park system for the enjoyment of this and future generations. Currently, the Service is unable to attain its mission in many parks, owing to a serious lack of scientific information about the nature and condition of resources in those parks, especially biological resources. In 1992, the National Park Service's (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring Program identified a list of candidate elements and processes for initial inventory in all natural resource parks, proposed the establishment of prototype inventory and monitoring parks, and outlined national implementation guidelines. The National Parks Omnibus Management Act of 1998 recognized the need for good scientific information to manage parks. The act mandated a "program of inventory and monitoring of National Park System resources to establish baseline information and to provide information on the long-term trends in the condition of National Park System resources". Funding acquired through the Natural Resource Challenge (1999) provided the financial resources for National Park Service to initiate Species Inventory Programs focusing on vertebrates and vascular plants. The basic goal of this program is to provide park managers with comprehensive, scientifically-based information about the nature and status of selected biological resources occurring within park boundaries in a format that increases its accessibility and utility for making management decisions, for scientific research, and to share this information with the public.

Inventory and monitoring programs were funded and designed within 32 networks of parks across the National Park Service. The North Coast and Cascade Network (NCCN) includes: Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve (EBLA), Fort Clatsop National Memorial (FOCL), Fort Vancouver National Historic Site (FOVA), North Cascades National Park Service Complex (NOCA), Mount Rainier National Park (MORA), Olympic National Park (OLYM), and San Juan National Historic Park (SAJH) (Figure 1). The basic goal of the inventory program was to compile species lists of vascular plants and vertebrates, for each park, and verify these lists at the 90% level. Verification was defined as documentation by voucher specimens, scientific studies, written observations, or photographs. Summaries of existing data revealed a wide range in volume and quality of existing information on species presence in the NCCN parks (Rochefort et al 2009).

Mount Rainier National Park was established on March 2, 1899 encompassing 95,354 ha on the west-side of the , about 100 kilometers (50 miles) southeast of the Seattle- Tacoma metropolitan area (Figure 1). At 4,394 m (14,411 ft), Mount Rainier is the most prominent peak in the Cascade Range. Vegetation is diverse, reflecting the varied climatic and environmental conditions encountered across the park’s 3,902 m (12,800 ft) elevation gradient. Approximately 58 percent of the park is forested, 23 percent is subalpine parkland, and the remainder is alpine, half of which is vegetated and the other half consists of permanent snow and ice. Forest ages range from less than 100 years old on burned areas and moraines left by receding glaciers to old-growth stands 1,000 or more years old. Some alpine heather communities have persisted in the park for up to 10,000 years. There is a long history of plant studies and collecting in MORA (Biek, 2000). However, as we began to compile existing data and develop objectives for individual parks, we were surprised to find that the vascular plants of MORA were already documented at the 95% level (56% by vouchers). In fact, there were over 400 herbarium specimens that had been collected between 1893 and 1899. Our objectives for the

Mount Rainier vascular plant inventory were: 1) improve the quality of our verification by increasing the number of species documented by voucher specimens and 2) to verify the presence of sensitive plants that were listed as occurring within the park.

Methods

This project used two approaches, data mining and field based surveys, to improve and update the quality of our species verification. Data mining occurred between 2000 and 2002 and field surveys were conducted between 2001 and 2007. Data mining methods included literature searches, inventories of the collections in local herbaria, and on-line searches of herbaria in other states. The second approach was to conduct field surveys that focused on habitat for sensitive plant species and under-surveyed areas in the park.

Data mining During the first two years of this project, we visited local university herbaria and searched on- line collection databases for specimens that had been collected in MORA. We also conducted literature searches to locate observation records of vascular plant species in both published and unpublished plant studies. All observation records and herbarium specimens were entered into the NPSpecies database (2001). During the data mining, we also geo-referenced all herbarium specimens so that we could determine if there were “under-surveyed” areas in the park where we should focus our field surveys (Figure 2). The data mining phase resulted in a preliminary species list for MORA with 959 species, 95% of which had been verified, 56% verified by voucher and 39% by observation.

Field based survey approaches

Sensitive plant species surveys During the data mining phase, we developed a potential list of 15 state or federally listed species (Table 1) that might occur in the park. Several of these species had historic records within the park or were placed on the list based on the availability of suitable habitat within the park. We targeted these species for field surveys based on their documented past locations and also kept an eye out for them during surveys in “under-surveyed” areas.

Under-surveyed areas In order to increase the number of species that were documented by vouchers and to look for new species that might not be on our draft species list, we focused our field surveys on the “under-surveyed” areas that we had identified when we geo-referenced specimens found in the various collections. We worked with Dr. David Giblin and Dr. Richard Olmsted of the University of Washington to conduct “Botany Forays” during the field seasons of 2004-2007. During “Botany Forays,” Dr. Giblin recruited 6-10 volunteers to search a geographic area and collect all vascular plant species that were in sufficient abundance (over 20 individual plants per population) and were identifiable to species level (ie. or present). Our vounteer crew was a diverse crew of people including self-taught, experienced botanists; students; and professional plant taxomonists. If possible, 3 specimens of each plant were made. One specimen was deposited in the MORA herbarium, one specimen was deposited in the University of Washington Herbarium (WTU), and the third was sent to the University of herbarium in Vancouver, British Columbia. Once specimens were collected, Dr. Giblin brought them back to WTU where they were identified, curated, and accessioned into the designated herbaria.

Results

Data mining We located specimens during site visits to the University of Puget Sound (31), University of Washington (721), and Skagit Valley College (47). We also located specimens by conducting on-line searches of collections at State University (7), University of (1), Harvard University (17), University of British Columbia (102), and Washington State University (134) (Figure 3). These specimens were entered into the NPSpecies database in addition to the 2,580 that were already in the Mount Rainier National Park collection and the 39 specimens from the Botanical Garden that had been entered by the NPS National I&M Office. In total, these specimens increased the number of species documented by vouchers by 143 (Table 2). However, the data mining did not increase the number of species on the preliminary list, which remained at 959 (Table 2).

Field based survey approaches Sensitive plant species surveys Sensitive species were documented in 34 locations; 12 were revisits of known locations and 22 were areas where potential habitat was identified. Six of our 15 targeted species were documented (Table 1). Two ferns (Botrychium pinnatum and B. simplex) were located; previously, they had been only been cited by Brockman (1947) as occurring in the park, but without specific locations.

Under-surveyed areas Botany Forays were conducted in seven subalpine and alpine areas between 2002 and 2007 (Figure 4, 5; Table 3). Foray participants collected 864 collections representing 307 taxa including first-time vouchers for 45 species. Thirty-one vouchers represented new specimens for species that were on our preliminary plant list based on references or observations. Fourteen species or subspecies were added to our preliminary list based on these surveys.

Discussion

Data mining and field surveys resulted in a final vascular plant list of 973 taxa for Mount Rainier National Park. Our first study objective was to increase the quality of our species verifications; we accomplished this by increasing our rate of voucher verification from 56% to 74% (Table 2). Approximately 16% of species on are non-native species (Table 4) and 11 species are listed as sensitive by either the Washington Natural Heritage Office (2009) or the USFWS (Appendices A-F).

As previously mentioned, over 400 specimens were collected in the park prior to 1900. The benefit was that we started this project at a high rate of verification. However, there was a significant drawback that must be discussed. One of the most difficult components of the Mount Rainier inventory was data mining and the resolution of plant names. Many of these specimens represented taxa that had undergone name changes over the last 100 years. In most cases, we could track the changes and assign a currently accepted name to the specimen. However, these name assignments are often our best guess and there was no examination or annotation of the specimen (Appendix G). For this reason, it is recommended that annotation of Mount Rainier’s herbarium specimens is a high priority for the inventory and monitoring program. Additionally, many of the species on the park list are based on specimens that were last collected in the early 1900s. These specimens may be important for tracking phenotypic changes in the species, but updated specimens are needed.

Our second objective was to verify the presence of sensitive species that were on the park species list. We relocated and documented six species, of the fifteen, that we had targeted for this compoenent of the study. Surveys for sensitive species and surveys of under-surveyed areas of the park were conducted by park staff and with the assistance of the University of Washington through the Botany Forays program. The Botany Forays were an important component of the 9

inventory. They provided an important education/outreach opportunity while also documenting 45 species that were previously on the park list based on observations. Also, the Foray volunteers updated collections of species that had not been collected for decades. In examining the spatial distribution of existing collections and the recent forays, there are still areas within Mount Rainier that have not been surveyed either by scientific studies or collections (Figure 2). Future Forays are being planned to focus on these areas and in light of climate change, it will be important to document locations of species in these zones, especially in the subalpine and alpine habitats within them.

Appendix F. Guide to abbreviations used to describe wetland indicator status1

Indicator Wetland Comment Code Type

OBL Obligate Occurs almost always (estimated probability 99%) under natural conditions in wetlands. Wetland

FACW Facultative Usually occurs in wetlands (estimated probability 67%-99%), but occasionally found in Wetland non-wetlands.

FAC Facultative Equally likely to occur in wetlands or non-wetlands (estimated probability 34%-66%).

FACU Facultative Usually occurs in non-wetlands (estimated probability 67%-99%), but occasionally found Upland on wetlands (estimated probability 1%-33%).

UPL Obligate Occurs in wetlands in another region, but occurs almost always (estimated probability Upland 99%) under natural conditions in non-wetlands in the regions specified. If a species does not occur in wetlands in any region, it is not on the National List.

NI No indicator Insufficient information was available to determine an indicator status.

NL Not Listed Species that were not included within the USFWS list and were not known to be UPL species

1 The Wetland Indicator Status for each species is data gathered from USFWS lists of vascular plant species that occur in wetlands. The indicator codes are explained above. The MORA list also includes a denotation of NL, Not Listed; this code was used for wetland species that were not included in the USFWS list and were not known to be obligate upland plants (UPL).

Appendix G. Plant species or herbarium specimens in need of further documentation

Species Annotation Needs Notes Voucher Penstemon X herbarium specimen from HW Bailey, 7/25/1911, Goat barretiae Rock; species is threatened in park, habitat seems unlikely in park Mimulus tilingii var. X X Biek mentions collections made by J.R. Slater for 2 tilingii locations : Lee Creek near Mowich and Cayuse Pass, it would be nice to document where these are and find new specimens. Collinsia grandiflora X X Goat Island Mountain collection by O.D. Allen June 30, 1896, alpine – it would be nice to check specimen and then conduct other field surveys. Mimulus alsinoides X no herbarium specimen, just Biek’s notes of locations: 3500’ on Rampart Ridge Trail, 1.5 miles up Westside road, mossy rocks where the road crosses Cowlitz Divide, main road south of Tumtum Penstemon X on the list but no herbarium specimens or literature procerus var. other than Dunwiddie procerus Selaginella densa X needs specimen, one listed in Biek from Irene Creso var. scopulorum on rocks at Klapatchee & Gobbler’s Knob

Selaginella X not in Biek, specimen at UPS only has ¼ mile north of rupestris Carbon glacier for location, no author, and no date, removed from list. Selaginella wallacei X needs specimen, Biek mentions specimens at Longmire, but there’s one from 1936 & Jones at Tipsoo Lake

Solanum nigrum X need to check FA Warren specimen at WTU to determine if it is nigrum or americanum Solanum X X Not included on plant list; Biek states it is an infrequent americanum weed and he feels that the specimen collected by F.A. Warren may be misidentified as S. nigrum but he did not key it out. Solanum X originally on Jones 1938 plant list – need to check, sarrachoides entered as S. physalifolium

Sparganium X listed in Biek but no evidence other than so taken off erectum the plant list, states uncommon at low and middle elevations; probably S. eurycarpum

Sparganium X not put on the list, listed in Brockman 1947 but no simplex locations, may be S. emersum Saxifraga X new name of Saxifraga punctata var. cascadensis, nelsoniana ssp. observations by Biek no specimens cascadensis S. nelsoniana ssp X X S. nelsoniana ssp nelsoniana nelsoniana S. nelsoniana ssp X Most species not represented in the herbarium nelsoniana S. lasiolepis X 3 specimens by Brockman in herbarium, Biek did not examine them but assumed he confused it with S. lucida ssp. lasiandra Populus X Biek states that Jones listed it but no other evidence, tremuloides deleted from potential list

47

Appendix G. Plant species or herbarium specimens in need of further documentation (continued).

Species Annotation Needs Notes Voucher Galium X O.D. Allen specimen from Goat Island Mtn should be kamtschaticum checked; Biek calls this G. oreganum, but does not mention of checking specimen; left on list a G. kamtschaticum Pyrus sambucifolia X specimens collected by O.D. Allen in 1896 on Goat Island Mtn and Bear Prairie Trail should be checked to determine if really Sorbus sitchensis var. sitchensis

Potentilla dissecta X Need to check the specimen by OD Allen to see if it is P. drummondii ssp drummondii

Fragaria chiloensis X specimen probably misidentified and needs to be checked to see it is F. crinita

Ranunculus X left on list as unconfirmed because Biek states it is R. occidentalis uncinatus, but no one has annotated the 1894 herbarium specimen collected by O.D. Allen R. aquatilis, R. X left on without varieties because there are no alismifolius herbarium records to determine the variety Delphinium bicolor X 3 specimens need to be annotated, unlikely that species is in park Anemone multifida X collected by O.D. Allen on Goat Island Mtn, should be checked to see if it is var. saxicola or A. hudsoniana (Brockman) Anemone lyalii X Biek lists as being in Ohana, needs to be checked. Deleted since it is a coastal plant

Dodecatheon X Collected by O.D. Allen needs to be reviewed probably meadia misidentified since species is from Midwest US Polypodium vulgare X O.D.Allen specimen needs to be checked to determine if it is P. hesperium or P. glycyrrhiza

Gilia heterophylla X Specimen collected by O .D. Allen in MORA herbarium; no ITIS name for this. Biek says it is Collomia heterophylla but he did not annotate the specimen and did not record how he made his determination. Poa laxa X specimen by O.D. Allen, species only listed as occurring in OR, not WA state Melica bromoides X O.D. Allen specimen needs to be checked. No name in var. howellii IT IS and very old name, no easily found synonym Glyceria fluitans X Biek states this OD Allen specimen is G. leptostachya Festuca jonesii X O.D. Allen 1893 specimen, Biek states it is probably F. subulata F. howellii X 1895 O.D. Allen specimen, Biek states it is probably F. viridula Delphiniums X –need collections. D. glareosum ssp glareosum – Biked says it is widespread in the park, but there are no specimens Montia parviflora X O.D. Allen specimen should be checked to determine if its is a Montia or Claytonia parviflora ssp parviflora

Bromus orcuttianus X O.D. Allen specimen should be checked , Biek says it is probably B. sitchensis var sitchensis Agrostis varians X specimen of OD Allen should be annotated to see if it is A.rossiae Pinus contorta var. X specimens of OD Allen should be checked to see if contorta they are really latifolia (or now murryana)

48

Appendix G. Plant species or herbarium specimens in need of further documentation (continued).

Species Annotation Needs Notes Voucher Habenaria gracilis X O.D. Allen specimen should be checked to determine if it is Platanthera stricta as Biek states Cephalanthera X specimen by O.D. Allen needs annotation oregana

Botrychium X O.D. Allen specimen should be annotated – probably is ternatum B. multifidum Epilobium x X hybrid mentioned by Brockman and Biek, needs to be pulchrum confirmed, no specimens

Epilobium X 1895 O. D. Allen specimen needs to be annotated glaberrimum var. since var. is not and accepted name; Biek suggests it latifolium is probably it is ssp fastigiatum Epilobium X Needs verification, observed by J. B. Flett around densiflorum 1901 (cited in Biek) Luzula spadicea X O.D. Allen specimen should be annotated to see if it is L. piperi as Biek surmises Luzula major X Check 1938 specimen by Smith to determine if it is L. piperi Juncus xiphioides X Biek states it is common but no herbarium specimens Lupinus rivularis, L. X Need to check O.D. Allen specimens lyallii, L. sericeus Vaccinium X O.D. Allen specimen, Biek states is really V. myrtilloides membranaceum Carex sterilis X eastern US species; the 1895 O.D. Allen voucher actually has var excelsior and Looking in IPNI a synonym is Carex echinata which is in WA,Bieks list as spp echinata. The Carex working group lists two ssp and although ssp phyllomanica has not been reported away from the coast, we should annotate it to ssp Carex rostrata X Listed by Brockman, but probably misapplied to C. utriculata, need specimen C. scirpoidea var. Need to go with Carex working group name not ITIS stenochlaena since it does not recognize spp. C. rigida ssp X 1897 O.D. Allen specimen, Biek states is misapplied to inferalpina C. scopulorum var bracteosa, so this specimen is used as evidence for the latter but specimen needs to be annotated C. muricata X 1935 Thompson specimen from Ohana , but the species is an eastern introduced sedge, Biek says it was misapplied to and should be C. echinata ssp echinata Carex halliana X F.A. Warren specimen in UW herbarium, perhaps should be checked C. globosa X 1895 O.D. Allen specimen should be annotated since species is not known from WA C. aurea X C. atratiformis X C. aperta X although Biek says probably not in park based on his examination of an Irene Creso specimen, he appears not to have been aware of the 2 specimens at UBC that were originally under the name of C. accedens so it should stay on the list Hypericum mutilim X O.D. Allen specimen Lonicera conjugialis X 1935 H.E. Bailey specimen and this species is not listed as occurring in WA Campanula uniflora X old specimen in UBC, this species does not occur in WA, probably needs annotating Physaria alpestris X Biek lists as above 7,000’, no specific observation

49

Appendix G. Plant species or herbarium specimens in need of further documentation (continued).

Species Annotation Needs Notes Voucher Draba glacialis X Old name on 1937 J. Hoverson specimen, needs annotation Draba douglasii X 1937 specimen needs annotation to determine if it is Cusickiella dougalsii Cryptantha X 1933 specimen by F.A. Warren, Biek states is clearly ambigua incorrect, needs annotation Troximon X Specimens of 4 species collected by O.D. Allen need to be annotated since they are probably all Agoseris species or Microseris Aster foliaceus v. X 1897 O.D. Allen specimen gray
